Donors are also called "intermediaries" and "matchmakers."
A broker refers to a person who introduces transactions for others and earns commissions from them.
The two have different focuses. The donor does not focus on monetary gain, while the broker aims at monetary gain.
There is a sentence in the first eleventh chapter of Zhou Erfu's "Morning in Shanghai": "Zhu Yannian became a donor of Western medicine."
There is another sentence in Mao Dun's "Exercise" on the 24th: "Yuan Shikai has to do everything for his betrayal, and those who work as his brokers will be bitten by him and called traitors."
Here you can see the difference between donors and brokers.
And Wang Fei came here just to be a donor.
Lu Yu followed Mark Foyou to the office. When he walked into the office, he found that all the windows in the entire room were tightly closed, and the dim lights from the roof illuminated the entire room.
There were two people sitting in the room, both of whom Lu Yu knew. One was the head coach of the National Youth Team, Wang Fei, and the other, a fat man with white hair and a fleshy face, was Don Nelson, the current head coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
"Here you go, Lu Yu." Wang Fei waved to Lu Yu, pointed to the sofa next to him and said, "Let me introduce to you. The person next to me is Mr. Don Nelson, the general manager and head coach of the Dallas Mavericks.
Tang, this is the Lu Yu I mentioned to you."
Wang Fei has been studying with the Mavericks since 1999, so he has a good relationship with head coach Don Nelson. When Don Nelson asked to meet Lu Yu, because he knew Lu Yu, he brought him first
Nelson came to Gonzaga University.
Don Nelson stood up and shook hands with Lu Yu: "I'm sorry to meet you in this environment. I hope you can understand."
Lu Yu nodded.
The NBA stipulates that teams cannot contact prospective draft players in advance, otherwise they will be severely punished.
He remembered that Denver head coach George Karl simply participated in a basketball training camp held at UM and gave training sessions to young players.
The reason for George Karl's visit was that the training camp was hosted by Karl's good friend Rick Marchevance, and Karl's son also participated. There, Karl was interested in Deron Williams, a point guard who was good at scoring and handling the ball.
James had a good impression, so the two naturally had a conversation.
It's hard to believe that Carr did this to get something out of Williams or Mack - the Nuggets picked 20th in that draft, and Williams was considered a top-five pick.
's rookie.
But here's the problem. According to regulations, team coaches or club officials are not allowed to have contact with players who are not eligible for the draft.
George Karl was fined $200,000 for this.
This is just something Lu Yu remembers, and it happened in 2005.
George Karl is not the first coach to be punished for this.
In 2002, Cleveland Cavaliers head coach John Lucas was fined $150,000 and suspended for two games for allowing high school student James to participate in a practice match of the team, although it was no secret that the Cavaliers wanted James.
, but this is still against the rules before the little emperor is determined to participate in the draft.
As for Don Nelson's meeting with Lu Yu, it was clear that he was here for the draft.
So they have to be careful. If they are discovered by the NBA, they will be severely punished.
"Tang, I brought you the man, you can talk about the rest." Mark Foyou sat down with a smile, and Lu Yu sat next to him.
Don Nelson smiled and said: "Lu, you must understand why we are here. To get straight to the point, I want to know if you will participate in this year's NBA draft?"
This is particularly important for Don Nelson. If Lu Yu participates in the draft, he needs to discuss with owner Mark Cuban to make arrangements in advance.
Lu Yu hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mark Foyou beside him.
Mark Foyou sighed and said: "I understand what you mean. Without you, the team's strength will definitely decline next year, but I asked Dan Dickau and Blake Stepp, and they both
Decided to stay, you are different from them, your strength has no room for improvement in the NCAA, and our training system is not enough to allow you to grow more, although I really want you to stay, but I personally think that the NBA
This is your stage."
Lu Yu nodded, admitting that Mark Four was right.
It can be seen from the stagnation of breathing method learning progress that NCAA is really no longer suitable for me.
"I have decided to participate in this year's NBA draft." Lu Yu said solemnly: "But Mr. Nelson, I have a question for you?"
"you say."
Don Nelson breathed a sigh of relief.
"You came to me this time, and you must want to select me to join the Dallas Mavericks. But if I participate in the draft, with the Mavericks' record, it may be difficult to get a high-ranking lottery pick. I wonder what your plans are?" Lu Yu asked
road.
Even if Lu Yu agrees to Don Nelson now, if the Mavericks don't have a feasible plan, they will still end up with nothing. After all, the draft is not about buying cabbage, and there is still room for bargaining. If the other team is not willing, he will be selected.
Trading is in vain.
What's more, this is not a draft year, which means there won't be many outstanding players, so as Lu Yu is one of the best, no team will give up easily.
The draft picks won't be released until May, and Don Nelson can't completely guarantee how to arrange this issue now.
Sure enough, after listening to Lu Yu's words, Don Nelson sighed slightly: "I can't guarantee you about the draft picks, but we are already communicating with several teams that may get lottery picks.
There are a few teams that are willing to talk to us."
"What teams are there?" Lu Yu asked.
"Clippers, Warriors and Celtics." Don Nelson answered without hiding: "The Clippers' lineup has been completed this year, Chris Maggette was brought to Staples, and the two players they selected last year
Two rookies, Darius Miles and Quentin Richardson, two newcomers with excellent jumping skills, have stirred up the backbone of the team's third position. A series of changes have also made the Clippers a veritable team.
The powerful young guards, although this season is still only 35%, the bench averaged 37 points per game, and the team averaged over 100 points per game, showing the whole league the madness of young people, so no matter who the Clippers select,
Players will choose to trade out."
"The reason for the Warriors is because I had coaching experience with the Warriors back then, and I am relatively familiar with them. They are short of a shooting guard. If you can be selected by the Warriors, I will congratulate you, because it is really a good fit there.
You, of course, if they choose you, we will also find a way to trade with them."
"The Celtics also need a shooting guard, so they will also choose you with a high probability, but I predict that their pick will not be too high. No matter what, as long as the Celtics have the intention to choose you, we will
Communicate with the other person.”
Don Nelson analyzed the specific situation with Lu Yu, and he knew that this was the basis for gaining trust.
